| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Guts faced off against some stronger enemies this episode, at least more than the typical ones. This might of been his toughest on-screen fight this season so far. I mean, Mogzus and those rocky arms..he's far from an angel imo now. Literally, Guts goes berserk in Berserk so I suppose this episode was decent in terms of action. Oh and quite a bit of teasing with the God's Right Hand. Too bad we won't be getting more focus on them at this pacing. Also, the Zodd cameo... |

| Nooooooo Mozgus is down. And lel so next episode really is a final one. Why even bother with Berserk if you'll only do 12 episodes. |
 |
| the animation quality for this episode was disgusting. this show has zero value for someone who is up to date with manga. And we wont even see the berserk armor because its over next week already. |
| Mozgus is finally dead. |
 |
| Good riddance to Mozgus, but even with that it all seems pretty bleak really. After all, no one seems to be dealing with the Egg guy to even try to do anything to stop all this from happening. In any case, it'll be interesting to see if this ends in as violent a fashion as the original series did or not. |
| So we've reached our penultimate episode, It was pretty decent one as well. Isidoro being the hero with that bungee jump to save Casca. xD That Puck spark. XD The egg guy's monologues are quite melancholic. Glad to see Mozgus being defeated by Guts, Absolutely loved the way he just threw him over the edge with his sword, That was epic. Mozgus found use in his death. :3 Liked the bits of 2D animation (Should I say stills?) used for Guts this episode, Especially at the end with him saying 'We're gonna survive'. |
 |
The hilarious starting sequence made me think of this: |
| Nice episode. This show is rly good once you get used to CGI. PS: screw haters and manga fans. |
| Only twelve episodes? FUCK! I was hoping for at least 24. This may be good only if another (better) studio picks this up after 12th episode. |
| Thank god this trainwreck is almost over, I don't know how much more I can take... |
| "Ayyy lmao" - Lil B |
| That would make Mozgus the Berserk Manga and Guts Millepensee&GEMBA studios. Still fairly accurate. |
 |
| I think it's interesting that people are saying the animation in this episode was poor/bad.......it's been that way for the entire show lol. Well putting the animation aside, the fight itself was rather bearable, and thank goodness that religious fanatic is gone. He's the prime example of what can happen to a person who devotes every fiber of their being to their beliefs. No matter how "good" next week's finale is, it won't be enough to save this show. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| the camera angles are giving me eye cancer |
| I don't mind the CGI, I really love this anime, but please only 12 episodes D: |
Astros said: That would make Mozgus the Berserk Manga and Guts Millepensee&GEMBA studios. Still fairly accurate. Haha, yeah. I kept thinking that the "We're going to survive" line could refer to the studio's reputation. |
| Awesome, as usual. I'm having a blast seeing my favorite manga animated. It's a shame next friday is going to be the last one of Berserk for now. |
| Next week final episode for this "disaster" and then we will wait like another 10 or 15 years until somebody get guts to make another berserk attempt. Hehe, get Guts, you get it? Oh nevermind. |

Ive alternated between hating and praising this series, but I just watched a couple scenes here and there from the show all over, and its solid. In truth the difficulty is compressing the manga into short 24min episodes, and like someone else said the manga isnt well paced either. Of course I would have preferred this to be 2D, but the 3D is actually solid, it was a different kind of show, a kind of 3D spectacle. They did push the 3D in ways I never saw before TBH. Final score for me 7/10. fofo808 said: Thank god this trainwreck is almost over, I don't know how much more I can take... The funny thing is how hypocritical you people are. I at least admit I am watching it because I enjoy it, as a Berserk fan. Why are you watching it, and then going on inevitably on the forums to criticise it? Its like little sado-masochistic children not in control of their emotions. Just quit this anime you hate and stop commenting on it week after week. Its ridiculous. Kind of like extremely bored kids with nothing else to do but this. |

| So next week is finally the last episode, and i hope they never continue with this fucking shit ever again. Continue the movies those were awesome. To guys who say you get used to CGI, stop fucking gauging your eyes out and bleed to death, this is very very bad CGI and thats a fact, theres good CGI then theres, ewwww, this. |
This phrase was cut out It's a good thing i reread this arc a couple days ago to refresh myself |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| damn only one episode left |
 |
| when i read the manga i thought the jelly monster was made of flesh an bones instead, the jelly monstr looks kinda funny unlike in the manga wish nina d just die already |
 |
| People are such masochists these days, looking for things to complain about. It's so easy to just not watch something and it'll save you all that anger you show every week, but it seems you entitled fellows love the pain and love complaining. Find another hobby. Admittedly the fight lacked the "oomph" that it should have had, I think I enjoyed previous episodes more, although I don't recall thinking the Mozgus fight was anything special in the manga either other that a few bits and pieces, so I'm not surprised this episode wasn't exactly amazing. 7, 9 and 10 were better for me, but I still enjoyed this. |
| Really enjoyed the fight against Mozgus. Directing could've definitely been better tho RIP. You were too good for this world |
 |
| Good god the animation in the Mozgus fight was atrocious, combined with the poor lighting it was amazing that our eyes didn't just completely glaze over everything after Mozgus's transformation. I was really hoping that they were going to give this fight their all, but guess I was hoping for too much. It's also baffling to me just how many of you are downright antagonistic towards people expressing their displeasure at the quality of this adaptation, especially those of you claiming to be fans of the manga. There are positives and negatives in every series, but since anime is inherently visual medium when you fail on that front, you fail on the most crucial area. Which is a shame, since for the most part the sound design is pretty damn good and the story is lifted directly from the source material (if not rushed in sections). As a fan, don't you think you deserve better than this poorly animated slop that also skipped one of the best story arcs of the series? In an age of good adaptations like JoJo, Monster, FMA:B and Hellsing Ultimate, is this really the treatment that a story like Berserk deserves? Demand better for yourself as a viewer, demand for Berserk to receive an adaptation that lives up to the quality set by the original medium. |
 |
| Puck Spark for the win. So long Mozgus. Yeah leave Guts alone. Finally Guts & Casca reunite. Now to survive until morning. 1 more ep to go. |

| What a trainwreck. What a friggin' entertaining trainwreck! Non-stop suspense and cool sound design! I like that scene where Guts and dat egg cross paths. Plus Smokin' Guts looks pretty awesome. Also silent Farnese best Farnese. Nina should die thou... S2 WHEEEN?! |

| Not the best episode so far, but as terrible as this show has been to watch, I'm still finding it better than a lot of the other airing shows, which mainly comes down to the story, and shows you how great Berserk really is. Quality wise though, it's looking to be a high 6/low 7, for me, which I don't see changing when the last episode comes out. Hopefully, if another season happens, a different studio who knows what they're doing can pick it up. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| The unofficial manga translators made this sequence more amusing xD |

Kind of like extremely bored kids with nothing else to do but this. Nice projecting. I'm still watching this because: 1. Berserk is my favorite manga of all time and I hoped it would get better as time went on (which it didn't) 2. I see shows through to the end because dropping shows is for the weak The 3D is trash and its never getting a season 2 so I really can't tell you anything else than to WRYYYYYYead the manga ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| "Ayyy lmao" - Lil B |
| looks like that egg ate the demon birthchild of Guts & Casca... nice one Isidro, that was brave saving Casca! Puck Spark was very useful! Guts is really tough and still able to defeat Father Mozgus! That reuniting hug from Guts to Casca was wonderful. I think by now Farnese-sama should decide to just stick together with Guts and Co. 5/5! |
 |
| Heh, pretty decent action in this episode. Last episode next week. |

superzombie23 said: RowinnDinosaur said: Great comment, it really is ridiculous how people will hate the anime... but watch it EVERY RELEASE DAY, then immediately hop on the forums to complain when you know damn well... they'll be back again same time same anime. I'm only watching it to see what it looks like in animated form, and we're probably not going to get another adaptation for many years... some of us might be dead by that time, so people have every right to express their frustration with how they treated the adaptation. Some people have a lot of free time and would rather watch the animated form of their favorite manga, even if it's really painful. Sure, it's not completely bad, but that's watching it while forcing yourself to ignore how UGLY the animation is. I've seen a lot of anime, but nothing as jarring as going back and forth between drawn to CGI in an anime before. That's just turd quality if you ask me, and I'd be happy to go in every episode discussion to "review" how horrible the animation is but I don't have THAT much free time. If you think about it, this is no different than Yelp. We all have a right to express our feelings about a product. So, don't say we are hypocrites when we have every right to criticize things as consumers. It'll force these horrible studios to do a better job next time with something that takes years to be adapted each time. And I'll just add I'm not the type to yelp about restaurants or service because that's just shallow as **** and serving food only takes 15 minutes, but an anime adaptation takes a lot LONGER and much more infrequent. Hell, I'll rage about how horrible this is as much as I want. I'm not a hypocrite for critizing something that tried to adapt one of my favorite manga, and I'll watch it anyway to relive the nostalgia. it's not even horrible, you're just on the hate bandwagon. |
| bandwagon..? there are plenty of reasons for berserk fans to hate this adaption. i'm a berserk fan and personally like it, but i'd be pleased with pretty much any adaption at this point. |
| Just one more episode. "Seems like he was more useful in death." Puck is savage. Finally, Guts and Casca reunite but she's still slobbering. |
| 臭い- |
| got to give this episode 5/5 for its cool action scenes. finally last episode next week. |
 |
| I see that they fixed Casca in the OP. Damn it, Nina, you potato. You fucked up again :3 The trio's power move against the twin inquisitors are clever indeed. Turns out Mozgus-tenshi was a Divine Rock Dragon. The fight was tough, but Guts thought a way through~ More useful in death... he's still blazing holy fire from that burn. The ignorant public gets punished. A slimy karmic fate befell them. Their last stand begins next week... I kinda wanted more since I actually liked this adaptation . |
 |
| What a clusterfuck. The fight had WAY too many pointless close-ups and poor framing, that it gave me a headache. The shots were constantly moving, zooming in/out or shaking along with Guts and Mozgul to give the lackluster animation some impact. Its like watching Berserk through the eyes of a drunken bumblebee. This isnt a matter of opinion or taste anymore, but rather obviously bad animation. I do think that this anime had some qualities and I did enjoy watching it to some degree (mostly because its a very faithful adaptation). But I would rather like to see another studio give it a shot, than having a sequel to this. |
| Overall good show. The show had some great moments, but really, it is nothing in comparison to the original manga. I give it 6.5/10. |
